Iirc there are variations of the shifter.
Mine has half moon pieces held by allen bolts.
Pics would help your cause.

I have everything in that pic except the aluminum bushing at the top left.. when I install the shifter i can have it bolted down by the wings but i can lift it up and spin it completely around...
-_- I just need the detentions of that spacer..

I had this same problem with my Tomei shifter that I purchased used- the same spacer was missing. I ended up buying an eBay short shifter for $20 shipped and using the bushing from that, lol.

lol i'll look into that.. thanks Damon!

Kind of lame/stupid, but it was less work than sourcing the actual part or having one made, haha. Good luck!

CamryOnBronze, nailed it right on the head. That is exactly what I did when I installed my C's Short Shifter and it works perfectly. Spacer is exactly the right size you will need, so get ready to fork over $30 for a spacer....

Don't worry it will be worth every penny once you row your first gear with that bad-boy

I'm trying to install my C's Shifter, and when I tighten the top plate down it puts pressure on the plastic bushing and makes it super hard to move the shifter around. Anyone else have this problem?
